A pure Rust multi-provider digital signature library with support for elliptic curve digital signature algorithms, namely ECDSA (described in [FIPS 186‑4]) and Ed25519 (described in [RFC 8032]).
Signatory provides a thread-safe and object-safe API and implements providers for many popular Rust crates, including [ed25519‑dalek], [secp256k1‑rs], [ring], and [sodiumoxide].
Signatory exposes a thread-and-object-safe API for creating digital signatures which allows several signature providers to be compiled-in and available with specific providers selected at runtime.
Signatory includes the following providers, which are each packaged into their own respective crates:
| Provider Crate | Backend Crate | Type | P‑256 | P‑384 | secp256k1 | |-----------------------|----------------|------|-------|-------|-----------| | [signatory‑ring] | [ring] | Soft | ✅ | ✅ | ⛔ | | [signatory‑secp256k1] | [secp256k1‑rs] | Soft | ⛔ | ⛔ | ✅ | | [signatory‑yubihsm] | [yubihsm‑rs] | Hard | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Provider Crate | Backend Crate | Type | Signing | Verification | |-------------------------|-----------------|------|---------|--------------| | [signatory‑dalek] | [ed25519‑dalek] | Soft | 51 k/s | 18 k/s | | [signatory‑ring] | [ring] | Soft | 47 k/s | 16 k/s | | [signatory‑sodiumoxide] | [sodiumoxide] | Soft | 38 k/s | 15 k/s | | [signatory‑yubihsm] | [yubihsm‑rs] | Hard | ~8/s | N/A |
